  • (Quote) This definitely needs to be clarified, as well as how it stacks with the Nature Domoth Crown power (which already applies the sparkleberry effect to an herb, but consumes sparkleberry balance).  Or does it not stack at all?
  • (Quote) Oh, and I missed this: No, the "LOL" button doesn't do anything.
  • (Quote) Sounds like it's a good thing it's gone, then.  And you may have mostly been paying attention to me, but it was significantly more prevalent than that.

    Part of the problem is this insistence that you represent the "entire playerbase."  You don't.  Saying that the people who disengage are at fault seems like flawed logic; that would be like me saying that the people who quit Lust…

    "Overwhelming"?  Not particularly.  I've received messages and notes from people who have been subjected to what's been going on here.
    For example: "I haven't been paying attention to the forums really. It's exhausting …
  • (Quote) Well, the idea was for Power 4 to be something which functions with the same restriction as Elfen/Faeling (active only in natural terrains).  Then Power 5 is used to make it active in some place where it wouldn't normally be.  As such…
  • I think you misunderstood a part of it; Natureborne doesn't change the terrain.  It just makes things that require "natural terrain" to activate become active in that area.  It is thus completely independent of any terrain-changing-modifications.
  • (Quote) Preferably we wouldn't have posts that go "That sounds pretty dumb, everything is fine!" (though yes, that may be asking too much-- as you say, it can and has happened, and probably will again).  The disagree flag doesn't stop that, t…
  • (Quote) That's... not what it means, no.  The negative usage of it isn't the subjective part.  The subjective part is in determining how you're applying the thing.  As has been pointed out, sometimes it was just "mark the posts of people you …
  • (Quote)   You're missing the rest of the sentence: "since disagreements are highly subjective."
  • (Quote) It does?  It specifically states "since disagreements are highly subjective".  They stated that they gave that one special rules because of its nature, so of course it isn't impacted by the defaults.  "Hey, I set default values, this …
  • (Quote) Hey, if you want to be negative about LOLs, I can't stop you.  Not everyone has to see them the say way though.
  • (Quote)
    LOLing at posts in an attempt to troll is really not working out that well imo.  The meaning is too nebulous, which robs it of any impact.  A debate can be had as to whether it even needs to exist, but people running around wasti…
  • I feel that it was about the whole suite of options.  The shakeup is a good thing.  As I said, I don't mind the Agree flag coming back, but if the only way to get the Agree flag is also the Disagree flag, then we're better off with neither.
  • (Quote) It was flagged exactly once, but it doesn't get reported until it gets to 5 (so there is nothing to "follow up on" until then).  "Five or more Abuse reactions will add the content to the Moderation Queue for moderator review."  As to …
  • (Quote) There is no forum rule that says "You're allowed to make personal attacks if provoked."  You don't get a free pass.  The appropriate thing was to mark them both, treat them equally, and have both passed over for moderation.  Instead, "justi…

    They're all part of the same suite of negative reactions.  Differing uses, but both with the same goal per the design of these forums (crowdsourcing curation of the forum contents / conversation to the posters).

  • (Quote)
    How is it any more "in the wrong" for one person to say the same offensive thing as someone else?  They are both equally wrong.  You undermine your own point by saying "Hey the people on 'the other team' deserve to be flagged."  …
  • (Quote)   I don't think he deserves a forum ban.
  • (Quote) As to your "no proof of that line," it's super hard to police the flags.  There is no reasoning given, you can just do it for whatever reason you'd like.  The administration has come in from time to time and tried to give warnings on …
  • (Quote) You already stated outright that people were doing so.
  • (Quote) When your community has people dishonestly using the self-moderation tools to advance a partisan narrative, it's time for a change.  If your argument is seriously "Let's remove all flags," then we can go there.  If your argument is "S…
  • I don't know, Maligorn.  I actually laughed at Kalnid's post because it is such a perfect example of how useless the disagree flag was.  What's he disagreeing with?  Does he think nobody agreed to use the flags that way?  Maybe he thinks I have…
  • (Quote) Well, agreed to by some people at least.  I've actually been chuckling at the people trying to troll with the LOL.  It just doesn't... pack the same meaning, which is fine to my mind.
  • (Quote) You would fix that by having a tick every 5 minutes; if your fae died or you don't have it, one spawns for you on the tick while the power is active.  The "other orgs have fae following them" thing is a little trickier, but as long as…
  • I kind of like a little curative thing.  Would it be killable like other ents in PvP?
  • Check ASHOP LIST GEARBOX.  The gnomeweapons are the things worth 5,000 goop on that list.  A gnomeweapon does a certain amount of base damage, and you can add up to 9 gearboxes to it.  Each gearbox has a specific damage "tuning" that it will ap…

    You click it, and then you write a report reason, and then your reason gets written to an admin-only thread for moderators to decide whether what you wrote is valid.  I imagine they wouldn't like it if you're randomly flagging th…
  • You would be able to use it in PvE as well.  I kind of like that it would be something you would have to consider using in PvP; seems fitting for Nature to be encompassing in that respect.

    Try clicking on Flag now?  I only see Report there.  Abuse and Spam are also now gone (and cannot be abused any more either).
    Ayisdra: I would rather have the posts.  Hopefully at least some of those people will actuall…
